Let $\\Pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $G(\\mathbb A)$, which is cohomological and a functorial lift from SO$(2n+1)$. The latter condition can be equivalently reformulated that the exterior square $L$-function of $\\Pi$ has a pole at $s=1$. In this paper, we prove a rationality result for the residue of the exterior square $L$-function at $s=1$ and also for the holomorphic value of the symmetric square $L$-function at $s=1$ attached to $\\Pi$. On the way, we also show a rationality result for the residue of the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function at $s=1$, which is very much in the spirit of our recent joint paper with Harris and Lapid, as well as of one of the main results in a recent article of Balasubramanyam--Raghuram.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-27T21:49:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rationality result", "symmetric square", "exterior square", "cuspidal automorphic representation", "totally real number field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
